Hi Mystic - I'm sorry to hear you're still having a rough time. I understand about the black hole as I've been there many times, and in the fog too. But the fact that you've posted help to other people is a good sign :-).
It sounds like you have a great doctor though, and that is a blessing. Did you ask them for therapist recommendations? I've been to lots of them over the years and the one I have now is a social worker. I've gone to PhDs and Licensed counselors in the past. Social workers seem to have more emphasis in their training on crisis intervention - getting you through the NOW - vs. delving into your past to fix you. (Lexy, I'm sure you may have an opinion on that since you are in a masters program right now.)
It's hard to find a good one and hard to ask around for recommendations! I have seen people on this board post a message with the title "Know a good therapist in xyz city?". You may want to try that!
Hang in there Mystic! Just think how much better you will be in 3 more weeks. You'll be at 8 weeks, right? That's been a real break-through point for many of us.
Not that I'm one to talk, but really try not to let your fears keep you from getting better!!! They're just that - fears - they only have power if you give it to them. You can thank them for coming, but tell them you are done with them now and would like them to go back where they came :-).
We're all pulling from you and I'll be thinking about you this weekend, hoping you're doing okay and taking your meds.
~ Lynne
